Info on German rifle scope mount.

[Cthraen]

I have this German built mauser based rifle in 257 Roberts. The scope mounting is nothing like I have experienced. I have posted photos. Any information on this setup welcome.

It's fairly common on pre-war Mausers and if you look at enough rifles you'll see them rather frequently. Having said that, even though I know what they're called my mind is an absolute blank right now.........

Are newer mounts available for this to allow the use of modern scopes?

Cthraen,
I suggest you check the websites of Ernst Apel Wurzburg (EAW) and Eric Recknagel (ERA). Both companies are well known in Germany and make a wide variety of scope mounts and other interesting products.
